I'm a useless prince, so what if I know a little bit of chemistry?

Huangfu Qi finally expressed her thoughts because she didn't want her subordinates to be suspicious.

"Do you think Lin Fan went to Yangcheng with such fanfare because he really wanted to attack Yangcheng?"

"Think about it carefully. Lin Fan has been making a big fuss about attacking cities so far, so there must be something wrong. I guess Lin Fan is just pretending to attack Yangcheng, and his real goal is Minjiang Pass, which is close to the sea and has a seaport. It is also an important city, so Lin Fan will definitely attack there."

After listening to Huangfu Qi's simple explanation, although Huangfu Qi's subordinates still had some confusion, they did not doubt too much, because what Huangfu Qi said was very right.

Lin Fan has never attacked a city in a big way until now, but now, Lin Fan is going to attack Yangcheng in a big way, which makes people suspicious.

Huangfu Qi led his 60,000 troops to Minjiang Pass, and 10,000 of them were left to guard Sanguan County, because Huangfu Qi was still a little unsure and worried that Lin Fan's real goal was Sanguan County. After all, in Huangfu Qi's mind, Lin Fan always played by his own rules.

Huangfu Pengwu arrived in Yangcheng with 30,000 people and was warmly welcomed by everyone.

Because although the surrounding cities also sent out troops, the number of people was not large, only 10,000 at most, and all people added up, there were only 30,000 people, and Huangfu Pengwu alone brought 30,000 people.

What does it mean to have a large family and a great business? This is what it means to have a large family and a great business.

No one doubted that the news of Huangfu Pengwu's two defeats had not reached the court, but after the court learned about it, Huangfu Pengwu was still able to lead his troops to fight, without even any documents holding him accountable, which made everyone envious.

Jinsha River and Jiefeng City are two important military locations. If they had lost these two cities, they would definitely be beheaded. But now Huangfu Pengwu has lost two important military locations, but no one has been held accountable. This makes people doubt Huangfu Pengwu's power.

In fact, the court of Chu State did know that Huangfu Pengwu had been defeated twice, but they did not hold him accountable because the Huangfu family tried their best to protect Huangfu Pengwu, and Chu State really needed Huangfu Pengwu, so they let him make meritorious contributions while serving his sentence.

This is why Huangfu Pengwu was still able to lead troops to fight after being defeated twice.

Huangfu Pengwu looked at Zhong Zhentian. Among all the people present, Huangfu Pengwu only looked up to Zhong Zhentian. The rest were all good-for-nothings to Huangfu Pengwu.

"What's the current situation? Are the enemy troops making any moves?" Huangfu Pengwu asked.

Zhong Zhentian shook his head, looking confused.

"In reply to General Huangfu, the enemy has not made any moves since arriving in Yangcheng. They just set up camp and acted as if a large army was about to attack the city, but they have not actually attacked the city yet. It seems they are waiting for our reinforcements to arrive." Zhong Zhentian replied.

After hearing Zhong Zhentian's answer, Huangfu Pengwu frowned, and suddenly a bad premonition arose in his heart.

Huangfu Pengwu never thought that Lin Fan would be such a simple person. If Lin Fan was really waiting for reinforcements now, then what exactly did Lin Fan want to do?

Is he planning to catch them all in one fell swoop, or does he have other plans?

If it was the former, Huangfu Pengwu said he couldn't understand it, because Huangfu Pengwu knew very well that Lin Fan was not a proud and arrogant person, so he would not do such an uncertain thing.

If it is the latter, then Huangfu Pengwu has to be on guard.

Because Huangfu Pengwu understood that Lin Fan never played by the rules. It was possible that while Lin Fan was camping in the front, his troops had already arrived behind Yang Cheng and were preparing for a surprise attack. After all, Lin Fan had done such a thing before.

The cliff behind Jiefeng City is hundreds of feet high, but Lin Fan actually climbed up with 10,000 people and burned down the granary. This was something Huangfu Pengwu dared not imagine.

But Lin Fan did it, and his degree of completion was very high. This was something no one dared to imagine.

Huangfu Pengwu thought about it over and over again, but couldn't figure out what Lin Fan's intention was, so in the end Huangfu Pengwu did not make any decision, but sent people to guard strictly, especially to prevent sneak attacks from behind.

After making these decisions, Huangfu Pengwu stayed in Yangcheng, waiting for the enemy's next move.

At this time, the Iron Hat King also noticed the situation of Yang Cheng's reinforcement of troops. This was the result they expected, so after learning of this result, the Iron Hat King was very happy.

"Guard strictly and be careful of Huangfu Pengwu and his men's sneak attack." The Iron Hat King ordered.

The Iron Hat King was really afraid that Huangfu Pengwu would bring people to launch another sneak attack. Last time, because Lin Fan was there, Huangfu Pengwu's target was Lin Fan, but now Lin Fan is not there at all. If Huangfu Pengwu launches a sneak attack again, then he will most likely die in the chaos. If the situation is better, he will be captured alive.

But no matter which of the two situations it is, the Iron Hat King cannot accept it.

Besides, they originally came here to attract the enemy's attention, so there was no need to attack the city. They just needed to wait for Lin Fan to succeed, and then they could retreat.

Just like that, both sides tacitly understood each other and all took a defensive posture. No one took the initiative to attack, and no one even spoke out provocatively.

The Iron Hat King's behavior made Huangfu Pengwu think that Lin Fan was up to something again, so he dared not move.

This is what is called "once bitten by a snake, one becomes afraid of ropes for ten years". After Huangfu Pengwu was defeated twice in Beilinfen by using strategies, he became very cautious in marching and fighting. It was precisely because of this that Lin Fan's plan was successful this time.

If Huangfu Pengwu launched a sneak attack like before, he would definitely find out that the person leading the army this time was not Lin Fan. Then, Lin Fan's plan would definitely be restricted and might even be on the verge of bankruptcy.

However, because of the two previous failures, Huangfu Pengwu didn't dare to make any extra moves and could only counter the opponent's moves.

On the other side, Lin Fan and his men had already ambushed near Luo City, waiting for the time to come and then seize Luo City with lightning speed.

"Brother, according to my estimation, the Iron Hat King should have succeeded. Should we attack Luocheng?" Zhao Feng asked.

Lin Fan shook his head and said, "Luocheng is insignificant. We can't just focus on Luocheng. Our goal is Minjiang Pass. If we want to take Minjiang Pass, we must attract all their attention to Yangcheng."

"Let the brothers have a good rest. After dark, we will capture Luo City and then make a long-distance raid to take Minjiang Pass!"
